About Me

When we moved into our home a few years ago, I realized that there were some serious issues with the landscaping. Several sections looked completely destroyed, and I knew that I had to do something to make things right. I started thinking carefully about how I could makeover the space, and it occurred to me that it would be great to go through and remove the extra rocks with some heavy construction equipment. I was able to find a place that rented the equipment I needed, but at first I wasn't quite sure which pieces would work best. This blog is all about choosing the right tools to get the job done.

If you've spotted a leak in your hydraulic system and need to replace a seal, it's important to be sure that you get the right one.
